i was gonna go and look at this car if mine sells, it must be a monster.

That looks more like a wanted ad than an actual car for sale? Can anyone confirm?

[Moe]

I doubt thats actually a b7 a b7 is based on a 5 series no?

[Scholesy]

Everything I can find says the B7 is based on the E65 7 series


Alpina Register - 3 Series Links (http://www.thealpinaregister.com/download)

Also the badge on the back of that one looks like it says B3 3.3 not 4.4.

As above looks like a wanted ad

b7 is a 7 series. (i know as i tried to make my 730d into one ;) )

B3 is the series

and i think the B10 was the 5 series

Alpinas in general - IMO overpriced and you might as well save a little more and get a \\\M

They never made a V8 3 series E46 Alpina, the last one they made was in the E36 and it was called a B8 4.6

And they are as rare as rocking horse shit - and worth a fortune. They haven't lost a penny over the last 5 years.

I quite like them, you don't see too many on the road, they are comparable to the m cars in terms of performance but more comfortable I assume, from what I see they seem to be cheaper than the m3 equiv, but what are they like to live with? I take it the b3 is 3 series and the b7 is based on the 7 series. Are they blown? Could a remap get more out of them?
